Hockney Painting

Famous quotes containing the words hockney and/or painting:

“We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way.”
—David Hockney (b. 1937)

“When van Gogh paints sunflowers, he reveals, or achieves, the vivid relation between himself, as man, and the sunflower, as sunflower, at that quick moment of time. His painting does not represent the sunflower itself. We shall never know what the sunflower itself is. And the camera will visualize the sunflower far more perfectly than van Gogh can.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
